THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY
Enlightenment Guaranteed
I felt my own interconnectedness, studied flow experiences for decades, and learned from hundreds of masters and traditions before I wrote this book.
Insane times require sane habits, whether you are religious or not. I have learned from the best and compiled this…
- down-to-earth,
- secular (scientific),
- psycho-spiritual guide.
Learn to uncover your “natural, ordinary” mind. I offer:

IS THIS BOOK FOR YOU?
Life has become immensely stressful due to our fast-paced, fast-changing, impersonal world; the threat of Climate Change and its deniers; social isolation; and our human tendency to escape the present moment.
Our heads spin as we go through an ordinary day. But you must not be a victim in the age of high anxiety. The ten daily habits presented in THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY help to uncover your natural, healthy mind amidst a world that’s spinning out of control.
THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY is for you, if you…
long for inner peace, or
are interested in spirituality, backed by science, inspired by Zen,
wish to breathe life into your existing spirituality,
are interested in proven practices that make you feel at home in the universe,
want to live with an open mind and a compassionate heart.
And how do I know that you can widen the window to your inner light?
I USED TO BE IN THE DARK
I had learned to control what I could, but some things must come to us, like the realization of being interconnected. Finally, while asking myself if people like me can be happy, silence struck me. I halted and connected to what I now call our “natural, ordinary mind.” Suddenly I could hear and see as if for the first time. The All made sense and became my home at once and for good. I noticed, I was happy.
My awakening experience led me to write my first book, A Unified Theory of Happiness. I love this book! It is the only existing synthesis of Western and Eastern thought. However, it should have been my second for many wondered how to get to the awareness that underlies happiness.
Awareness is always within us, but it takes daily practice to uncover it, especially during the age of high anxiety. Learning from countless wise people, traditions, science and from my own experience, I extricated the essence of such a practice in form of 10 habits.
The habits gave me greater access to the light of consciousness and can do the same for you.
REALIZING ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT FOR “SPECIAL” PEOPLE
- We have what it takes right now.
- A good practice is doable throughout the day with ten down-to-earth habits.
- The habits work with any religion and all secular paths.
THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY keeps its promise as everybody is already enlightened; our consciousness cannot help itself but be interconnected within the universe. Nobody lives in a vacuum, and on some level, we know that.
Even when you feel troubled and must face and embrace your inner demons (ghosts), you can learn to open your eyes to the light within. You will feel supported in your greatest darkness.
We tend to obstruct the light of our interconnected consciousness from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep.
THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY guides you to remove your obstructions. All you need is good habits for your mind/body unit, which are offered in:

HOW THE BOOK HELPS YOU UNCOVER YOUR INNER LIGHT
Life is so overwhelming– Any practice must immediately unburden you. The one suggested in THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY does just that. You will find it easy to apply the offered knowledge and pick up the habits quickly.
Watch in real time how your mind becomes clear and your heart open. As you gain perspective with every habit you adopt, the light of your consciousness begins to shine even in dark moments.
The masters of spiritual traditions and the best psychologists and researchers tend to show, not tell. I learned from them and included many stories and fresh examples to illustrate their points.
The guide is unthinkable without being informed by my personal experience as I needed to know first-hand about the effectiveness of each habit.
The practice is daily and begins and ends in bed:
1. Prepare the mind with four habits before rising.
2. Nourish and align the mind/body unit with five habits during daytime.
3. Surrender and makes wise decisions at night time with one last habit.
With practice, your new, healthy habits replace old, bad habits. You remove the obstructions to your “natural, ordinary mind.” All that which is dark will be drenched in light.
WHY IS THE BOOK SPECIAL?
- Most books on spirituality forget that the spiritual mind is also the mind/body. We cannot separate the various levels of experience; they are one. No good spiritual practice can leave out the body and our psychology. THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY focuses on the entirety of the mind/body/spirit unit.
- We are often asked to believe in dogma for our spiritual practice, which also spurs many arguments. THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY is experiential. You can test the habits and see if they feel right to you. If the habit works, it works; if it does not, skip it.
- Many self-help and spiritual books ask us to self-improve and make ourselves worthy. This psycho-spiritual book asserts that we are already filled with the light of consciousness. We are not flawless, but perfect, as in “complete” and interconnected within the All. As we take off pressure and provide perspective instead, we buffer naturally against high anxiety.
- Some authors suggest good habits, but they feel like a burden. The ten habits of sane people in an insane world begin nourishing us right away.
- Theory takes a back seat. THE 10 HABITS OF SANITY is all about application.

Who AM I
I love to write about flow as I experience it most of the time. As I remember life without flow all too well, it is my greatest desire to help make it accessible to my fellow people. Besides happiness, I also write about the awakened, aware mind, which are, as I realized, two subjects, not one. They are different but related.
My life is not perfect and I am not always as jovial as I am when I walk my dog on a sunny day. When there is a loss, I am as sad as everybody else. I have made friends with my vulnerability. Key to my happiness is the “know-how” I am sharing in A Unified Theory of Happiness, but also the radical acceptance of life as it unfolds in me.
I have never believed that happiness is feeling wonderful all the time. Instead, I feel the wonder of life all the time.
Besides being a writer and a psychologist in private practice, I live in the quiet mountains of Topanga with my husband and three children, our dog Bella, chickens, and several odd and interesting fish. Nature cures me from most of my ills. I consider nature my temple in which I practice walking meditation every day of my life.
